Hamilton.

2011-11-03T10:50:00.001+13:00

When we heard that my grandpa had a operation at Hamilton I felt bad because I didn’t know what kind of operation.

When we got there at my Grandpa’s house my family wasn’t there. After that we got message from my auntie that they were at the Hospital early.I said to my self “I don’t like going to the Hospital”.

I went inside the Hospital it smelled like rotten stuff.I told my mum and dad if I can stay in the car wile they go inside.But I new my mum and dad will say no but I still asked “can I stay inside the car” No!.We went inside and we told the lady what room is my Grandpa in they said room 4.I was sceard to walk wher the hall ways because I could see other people and i saw a lady with no eye.It was so creepy.

When we got inside room 4 my grandpa was lieing on the bed resting.I still didn’t go inside.But I had to go and do the pray for him.Then I got used to staying inside the room.

I was happy at the end because he gets to come back home.

New Zealand.

2011-08-23T14:45:00.003+12:00

In New Zealand, the further south you go,the more extreme the winter conditions. The further north you go, the warmer the weather. That’s why Samoa and Tonga are hotter than New Zealand.

New Zealand has a spectacular and diverse landscape, and a temperate climate.
Our country is surrounded by the beautiful and spectacular, ocean.In our country there is a population of only just over four million people, making it one of the world's least crowded countries.

Wow vanessa I can see you working really well on re design our courtyard.

Marked by Caroline.

8/12
We need a very good Extreme Makeover for room 17’s courtyard.There are many reasons for this.

The reason why we need a makeover is because our school is crowded by the years 7,8 , and some little kids could get hurt.I think people does not like coming here because its ugly and small places to play.This is not good.

In winter, our fields are always closed and our courts are stuffed with 500 kids , little kids get bumped over and get hurt.There are 500 hundred kids at Pt England school it is small for 500 kids.Wow that is allot of kids.

This is just a waste of space for this school,but sometimes we see some kids doing nothing. So Rm17 came up with an good idea we decided to make our courtyard a better place for the year 6 and up. This will stop little kids from getting hurt.

We really need a makeover because the drain is ugly and no color,leaking fountains,there’s a dirty ditch with grass in it. It is slippery on the grass,its has hard concrete.We need to get red of the grass on the fountain.

Rm seventeen really needs this extreme makeover.

LISTEN UP.

We have read a book called LISTEN UP.

Partly Cloudy.

2011-06-17T10:20:00.002+12:00

This is the picture that I drew in Tux Paint!
Partly Cloudy.

The main character's are an stork and a gray cloud.
This movie is set up in the sky.
In the beginning all the storks delivered babies and puppies to their new families, but there is one stork who's boss makes dangerous mean little babies. Do you know what? the stork always get hurt from the baby creatures!

At the end of the movie, the stork went up to another cloud, the gray cloud got angry at the stork, and when he turned around he saw the stork had a bag.The stork opened it up and it was something to wear so he can not be hurt!
I give this movie 10 out of 10 because it is friendly and adorable.

Courtyard Makeover.

2011-06-14T11:53:00.011+12:00

Did you know what I chose to put in room 17 courtyard?Well I added security cameras that could connect to a computer so when we get new staff and someone steals we could look on the computer to capture them just like the office!Do you know what I heard that the security cameras cost is $1500 that is so expensive!

I have picked our lawn to be an concrete because we could put the picnic tables on the concrete so we could eat our lunch's.We could even play some connect four and some other games on it.You will have even more space to play a cool game of basketball.

Who whould like to play here? bn

2011-06-08T14:32:00.008+12:00

We are redesigning our courtyard.The problem is that the courtyard is to small play with.I have put a table with chairs and a basket ball hoop and the last one is concrete.

WHAT IS A UNICORN?

2011-03-29T10:42:00.003+13:00

A Greek author wrote a imaginary story a long time ago it was about a Unicorn.

The Unicorn was white, and it looked like a horse. The unicorn had a horn on his forhead. It had to live in India.There was no such animal.

He was suppost to draw a rhinocerous but it sure looked like an unicorn.

My special Netbook

2011-02-17T14:21:00.000+13:00

When we got our netbooks, I had to hold it very gently. When we come to school Miss Garden supports us to learn new things. Room 17 were ready and waiting, we were saying, “When are our netbooks arriving?”

I was frustrated when the Internet disconnected. We were confused about some of the things on our netbooks. It is overwhelming that we can do anything on our netbook, like games, looking at picture's and go on google docs.
